Abstract

Recently, measurements on clutter loss due to buildings in urban/suburban areas at 3, 6, 10, 18, and 24 GHz have been performed by the Radio Research Agency with the purpose of predicting the clutter loss close to actual urban/suburban propagation for 5G mobile communication. In this work, we have compared the urban clutter loss to suburban clutter loss for a transmit antenna height of 85 m. Furthermore, we have estimated the error between the predicted loss as per ITU-R P.2108 and the measured clutter loss. Our results indicate that for higher frequencies, the measured clutter loss in urban/suburban areas is higher and so lower than the predicted clutter loss. In conclusion, it is necessary to improve the prediction model for clutter loss by taking into account the measured clutter loss in urban/suburban areas in the prediction model.

최근 국립전파연구원에서는 5G 이동통신 도심/부도심 지역에서 빌딩에 의한 클러터 손실을 예측하기 위해 3, 6, 10, 18, 24 GHz 대역에서 전파측정을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 송신안테나 높이가 85 m일 때, 도심과 부도심환경에서 주파수에 따라 측정된 클러터 손실을 비교하며, ITU-R P.2108 예측모델과의 오차를 평가하였다. 도심이나 부도심 지역에서 주파수가 높을수록 클러터 손실이 크게 나타나며, 도심 지역에서의 클러터 손실은 부도심 지역보다 더욱 강한 클러터 손실을 보이지만, ITU-R P.2108 예측 모델보다 낮은 클러터 손실을 얻어졌다. 결론적으로 측정된 데이터로부터 송신 안테나가 85 m로 높은 경우 도심/부도심 지역에서 클러터 손실에 대한 데이터를 예측모델에 반영하여 클러터 손실 예측모델을 좀 더 개선시켜 나갈 필요가 있다.
